Asia Cruises and Yangtze River Cruises

Asia Tours & Yangtze River Cruises
The Yangtze River boasts some of the world's most spectacular landscapes of misty mountains, breathtaking gorges, bamboo groves and serene lagoons. Along its narrow, cliff-bound course lies some of China's greatest cultural treasures - ancient tombs, temples & natural wonders. Widely regarded as one of China's celebrated scenic attractions, the Three Gorges cruise along the Yangtze River is the centerpiece of most itineraries.

The Three Gorges Dam, the most ambitious engineering project of its kind, was completed in 2009 when the river rose to a final 575 feet above sea level, submerging existing towns along the way and flooding the narrow gorges of the Yangtze's tributaries, creating a lake behind the dam & smoothing out the shoals & rapids of the river. Phase Two of the Three Gorges Dam project was completed in June 2003; the river has risen to 443 feet above sea level.
 
China's new dam promises to yield the equivalent power of 15 nuclear plants as well as control the centuries-old problem of devastating Yangtze floods. However, over 1.5 million people have been relocated to make way for the dam. Although the dam has changed the river landscape, it has also made the Lesser Gorges more accessible.
